Consider switching the license of the app to the Peer Production License
The license text and further discussion can be found in the following link: https://wiki.p2pfoundation.net/Peer_Production_License
This license is based on the Creative Commons ‘Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike’ license (v. 3.0) with these additional clauses inserted:
You may exercise the rights granted in Section 3 for commercial purposes only if: i. You are a worker-owned business or worker-owned collective; and ii. all financial gain, surplus, profits and benefits produced by the business or collective are distributed among the worker-owners
If our goal is not simply to facilitate distribution of our code and ideas but to also promote a change in culture, I think that this, or a similar, license is more appropriate. I believe that our dependencies are all under the MIT or LGPL licenses which should pose no problem in continuing using them.
I confirm:
- [x] I've read the contributing guidelines and the code of conduct
- [ ] I've checked that this issue applies to this repo Not really sure about this.
- [x] I've checked the existing issues, no one else has reported this
- [x] I've got a clear and descriptive title
@vkehayas I've raised this in our Slack channel. Might take some time for us to go over everything but feel free to touch base periodically.
